Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1980. Burnt Orange Boards. Very Good/Very Good. 9 1/2" Tall. Jaquin B. Schulz; Martha L. Tabor. This book is about the relationships of animals to their resources and about their relationships to one another through those resources. It brings together parts of two flourishing biological disciplines, ecology and ethology... Natural history, the description of the lives of animals, is rich in observations useful to both the ethologist and the ecologist. But the theoretical questions addressed by natural historical studies have usually been those of systematics (the phylogenetic relationships between different groups of organisms), not those of ethology or ecology, much less those linking them... Behavioral ecology is not, strictly speaking, a discrete area of ecological theory, as is population ecology or community ecology. Rather it is a way (and I believe a profitable way) of approaching many topics of ecological importance. For this reason I shall not… Read More

New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1949. Third Edition . Printed Black Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. 8 1/8" Tall. This book was written for use in college courses in community hygiene or community health. It has met with a certain amount of success but, because the health picture in any community has changed so much since 1934 when the first edition (entitled COMMUNITY HYGIENE) appeared, it was thought necessary to revise the text completely and rearrange the units to give proper emphasis to the various topics discussed." As such it reflects the opinions and beliefs of public health practice two generations ago, information which, although well expressed, is perhaps more useful to the historian than to the current practitioner. 314 pages, with XI tables, 111 figures, Glossary, and Index; plus xi pages, Preface to the Third Edition, Contents, Illustrations, and Tables; References for Further Study at the end of each chapter.

Homewood, IL: Richard D. Irwin, 1980. Third Edition, First Printing . Printed Green Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. 9 3/16" Tall.

St. Paul: West, 1989. Illustrated Coated Boards. Fine/No Jacket. 9 1/2 x 7 5/8. A splendid, old-school text book that sticks so closely to basics that we recommend it for the undergraduate electrical engineering major who is looking for a career with GE or an electric utility, rather than with a semi-conductor manufacturer. Mind you this is an old-school but not an old-style textbook, it has all the two-color printing the eye can take; but it deals with electricity more than electronics, and presents enough math for one to pass a GRE, but not enough for one to write one. Refreshing! Substantial programming is involved. Though the publisher offers a PSPICE Circuit Analysis 5 1/4" floppy, it probably won't work in your machine (it doesn't in our older ones): just download MicroSim's current version from the Net. The chapter titles are: for Section I, Electricity and Electronics; Physical Basis of Electrical Concepts; Current and Voltage; Ohm's Law and Resistance; Resistive… Read More

New York: Longmans, Green, 1933. Second Edition, Second Printing . Printed Black Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. 9 7/16" Tall. The second edition chiefly differs from the first, the author states in his preface, by clearer presentation of the physical conceptions; enlargement of the discusssion of the electro-static circuit to equal emphasis with electric and electro-magnetic circuits; a rewrite of the theory of series and parallel resonance; a clearer distinction between armature reactions and armature self-inductance; and a review of the theory of the transformer. This is not to say throw out your old copy of Beaver, just that time and the electrical industry have moved briskly forward since the first edition was published in 1926, and that the author has kept right in step with the innovations. The chapter headings are: Vectors; Alternating Current Conceptions; Average and Effective Values, Power; Rate of Change Resistance, Inductance, Capacitance; Series Circuits, Resistance, Reactance,… Read More
